Wow! 30 - 50 million tonnes of ice has crashed of the Terminal Face of the Tasman Glacier into the Terminal Lake! This historic event has created at least 20 significant icebergs.
The Glacier Explorers Boat Trip which takes you out onto this lake to touch the icebergs is a Mount Cook 'must do' and comes highly recommended by Glentanner Park Centre. Not only is it a unique experience but the scenery is exceptional. Excitingly, this summer activity is resuming on September 3rd 2010 - one month earlier than scheduled due to the warm weather.

I can't wait to get out on the boats again, and see the new icebergs for myself!
